Are background checks required for private gun sales in South Carolina?

Yes, for all sales
Yes, but only for sales of handguns
No, background checks are not required
Only if the sale is conducted at a gun show

The correct answer is: No, background checks are not required

In South Carolina, background checks are not required for private gun sales. This means that individuals are not required to undergo a background check before purchasing a gun from another individual. It is important to note that this exemption applies to all types of guns, not just handguns. Option A is incorrect because it states that background checks are required for all sales, which is not true in South Carolina. Option B is not correct, as background checks are not limited to just handgun sales. Option D is also incorrect because background checks are not only required for gun show sales, but for all private sales as well.
